Three years on from releasing the excellent A Bath Full of Ecstasy, Hot Chip have announced their return with new album Freakout/Release, which is due for arrival on August 19 via Domino.
Freakout/Release was written and recorded at the band's Relax & Enjoy Studio in East London. The 11-track record — which features contributions by Lou Hayter and Canadian homegrown hero Cadence Weapon — is previewed today by lead single "Down."
The track is built around a looped sample of Universal Togetherness Band's "More Than Enough." It arrives alongside a strobing video directed by former Jesus and Mary Chain member Douglas Hart and Pulp's Steve Mackey.
Check that out below, where you'll also find the record's tracklisting.
